The Love We Found

Chapter 11

Axel's POV:

I woke up groggy and sore. Super sore. My arm was stretched out across the bed and Grant wasn't next to me. I opened my eyes squinting at the light coming in through the windows. I groaned today was supposed to be my first day back to school. My arms hurt from dragging myself to my room and the cuts. I don't know why I did it. I was conflicted with so many emotions and its the only thing I could think of to calm me down. My knee was sore from being in a bent position all night and felt like I couldn't straighten it without it locking up. I rolled onto my back and wiped my hands down my face trying to wake up. It was then I realized I was naked. The events from the night before quickly came back to me. I sat up fast, regretting so instantly.

I hissed in pain adjusting myself so I wasn't fully on my ass, mostly my hip and side. I used my right hand to rub my lower back, when Grants bedroom door opened. I froze looking at it before relaxing when Grant came in. He looked up and smiled when he saw me awake.

"Hows my little screamer?" He asked with a smirk.

I groaned, blushing and burying my face into the blankets when I fell sideways. I heard him chuckle and his almost silent footsteps head towards me.

"Shut up." I mumbled lifting my face from the blankets to glare at him.

He smiled and continued over to me. He set the glass of water and two pill bottles on the bedside table before climbing onto the bed covering me like he was a blanket. He kissed my shoulder and my neck, "How you feeling?"

"Like shit. My whole body hurts."

"mmm. I thought you might." He said getting off me and grabbing one of the bottles. He poured two into his hand and grabbed the water. "Sit up and take these."

"What is it?" I asked as I pushed into a sitting position like I had been in when I first got up.

"Advil. You can take your other pill when you've showered and you're ready to go to school."

I took the pills with a grateful smile, chugging half the water with it. "Don't remind me I have to return to hell, my good mood will be ruined."

"Eh schools not too bad, I'll carry your bag for you and meet you at the door of math class."

"You try getting through a crowd on crutches and trying not to hit your knee. You try sitting on a sore ass."

He cracked up laughing before turning to look at me. He just stared at me with a small smile on his face. I started to blush and quickly looked down to avoid his intense gaze. His hand went into my view before gently grasping my chin and pulling me up to look at him.

"Don't hide your face from me. You're beautiful and that's why I was staring." He said leaning in.

I inhaled sharply when his lips hit mine before melting into the kiss. after a few minutes of our kissing I pulled back for air. "Okay, We need to stop before my mini me wants something my body cant handle at the moment. I also need help getting up. My leg hurts and I don't think I can straighten it myself." I said looking down to where you could still clearly see the outline of my bent leg.

He nodded standing up and pulling the blankets away from me. I blushed quickly using my hands to cover myself.

"I saw it all last night baby."

"I Know..."

"You're fine. Axel. You're fine." He said as my eyes watered.

"I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be insecure around you but its hard not to when your body is flawless and mines not." I whispered. His breath hitched as he finally realized how insecure I am.
